Hi and welcome,
you have some interesting questions you pose.
Is hyperspace in any way an external objective reality or is it purely internal hallucination?
(By this I mean does it's existence continue before and after you perceive it?)I read somewhere that even our *reality* is inseparable from the observer. This is not saying that human consciousness being somehow (esoterically) special causes reality to exist - but that the act of observing creates *reality*. Now two terms in here are undefined: observing and reality. I equate observing with any form of interaction. And reality is all that can be and is observed. The observed and the observer however don't seem to exist separately and also all things are seemingly reciprocal, according to newton, so action = reaction turns to the observer is also observed by what he observes...
- How does spice - relate to or cause - a spiritual shift in human consciousness?
(and thus - if spirit is not real - how does such a system evolve through natural selection?)
This is great question. I honestly have no idea, other than perhaps that the creativity that could be gained from ingestion of psychedelics - the change in the programming of the brain (i.e. neural pathways) that it might be able to initiate (dunno if this is true or not, but doesn't every learning experience cause changes in the neural pathways?) could have led to better abilities to adapt to the environment making not only our physical make-up significant for natural selection but also our mental abilities.
It could just be that it is more or less by chance that some molecules that exist in nature are similar to chemicals that our brain relies on to work, and thus influence consciousness / cognition much more drastically than say regular food-stuff.
- Can spice be added to a massage oil and absorbed directly through the skin?
What happens if you apply it directly to - head ? other chakras ?I think the answer is - it won't get absorbed in significant enough amounts to cause noticeable effects. But if you find out differently do inform us.
anyway, I hope you enjoy the forum. would love to hear more about your idea on spice and natural selection etc.
cheers & love
